Another Pension nm.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Critic pub
fishes the following interview with United
States senator about the efforts of a man to
secure the passage Of q novel pension bill
to provide pecuniary relief for the patriots
who paid for substitutes during the war of
the rebellion: 1Of all the bills which have
ever been suggested for the relief of men who
were in any way connected with the war,
think the one received few days before
congress ad journed, is by far the worst,
said United States senator to-day THE
bill was prepared by citizen of my state,
and is well drawn It proposed to provide
for the payment, wiSh interest, Of the money
expended by every man drafted in the war
in securing substitute. The author OF the
bill is reputable gentleman who lives in my
town, and he wrot9 me a very good letter
giving his reasons yhy the bill should be-
come law. He laid the men who were
drafted and who. entered the army did so
with their eyes open. They received pay for
their services, and were fully supplied with
equipments and clothing by the govern
ment. On the other hand, those who were
compelled to secure substitutes were necessa-
rily obliged to pay out from 500 to $500
from their private resources, and although
they made this sacrifice lot the good OF the
country, they cannot ge5 a pension. Many
of these drafted men, he wrote, who never
went into the war. are now in Strengthened
circumstances, and that the money advanced
for the payment of substitute would be a
great help to those suffering for the neces-
stiles Of life"
s'Do you think the man was really In
earnest in asking you to introduce that billg
tUndoubtedly he was, and furthermore,
think there is as much sense in it as there IS III
some of the so-called pension measures which
have been introduced in the house or the
senate in the last five years.
"What did you do with the bila'
II filed it away for future considera ton, :"
said the senator II shall be in no hurry TO
introduce it, but shall canvass the matter
with my colleagues in the senate"

AN IMPORTANT WITNESS.
A VERY INTERESTING DAY IN THE
PADDOCK MURDER TRIAL

Albert Kosnitzi Testifies That He Saw
Arensdorf Fire the Fatal Shot That
Ended the Clergyman's Life-A Atrong
Case Made Out for the state.
Sioux Cry, Iowa, March 81 Yesterday
was the most interesting and exciting day,
so far Of the Haddock trial, and the court
room was jammed from the opening until
the closing hour. Mrs. Haddock, the widow
of the murdered clergyman, occupied q front
seat within the bar, and evidenced deep
grief as reference Was frequently made to
her late husband The first witness called
was Albert Kosnitzi, better known as Bis
marck, the eye witness of the tragedy, who
was arrested and brought back from San
Francisco. He spoke IN broken German,
and his testimony was at once forcible, and
interesting and graphic. He recited how
Trieber had induced him to hunt mp Granda
and tell him il he would whip the 'Priester"
and give him two black eyes he would receive
$500, and how Granda had finally weakened
and refused to whip Haddock.
Bismarck continued, thoroughly corrobo-
rating Leavitt and describing infinitely
fatef,il day, and which led up to and fol
lowed the homicide; the meeting Of Had
dock and Arensdorf, and how the latter, af-
ter passing the .spriestar,r suddenly whirled
and fired the leaden messenger of death. The
illustration was most dramatic, and breath
less silence followed the realistic description.
Witness related all about how Arensdorf had
given him. through Trieber, $l2 to leave the
country: how he tBismarck) had got
drunk, his wife taken the money, and then
again Arensdorf approached him with the
words: why have you not lefts Did you
not get the money from Trieber to go. Ii
you remain here, you win get drunk, toll
what you know and then be sent to the peni-
tertiary have plenty of money and they
will neyer send me to jail
TIE witness described his being driven to
Salix where FItz Folger gave him more
money, and then Bismarck went to San
Francisco When he came back to Omaha,
he was shown picture of Harry Leavitt
and assured by the mayor and city marshal
of Sioux City, that it was picture of the
man whom they believed had done the shoot
ing. He told them 1T was not, and though
they insisted, he emphatically maintained
then and there that John Arensdorf was the
murderer The witness testimony was most
thorough and exact from beginning to end,
and a rigorous examination failed to cripple
it in the least.
So far the state has made a wonderfully
strong case.
During the afternoon while Bismarck was
graphically describing the murder, Mrs!
Haddock suddenly tainted and was carried
into an anti-room. Restoration was admin.
istered and she soon rallied and again aIs
peared I'M the court room.

The Interstate commissioners.

Il WASHINGTON, March 3l-Interstate Cam
merce Comm ssioner Aldace Walker arrived
in town yesterday, and is quartered at the
Arlington. He was not prepared to express
an opinion on any questions likely to come
before the commission. He said to United
Press reporter, however, that he thought the
interstate law would prove of mutual benefit
to the railroads and the people after it was
put into thorough operation, and believed
that the disposition of certain roads to make
the operation, of the bill instantaneously dis
tasteful to the publ c, was for the purpose of
or ating speedy prejudice with the masses.
Judge Cooley arrived i'll town at 8 O'Clock
last night and found bevy of newspaper
men waiting to interview him. He excused
himself on account of not having eaten
anything for several hours, and declined to
see them, on commit himself upon any qnes-
ton b ari on interstate commerce or in
referenc, to the operations of the law.
Mr.. SchoonmaKer, who left New York yes
terday, arrived here late last night.
Capt Bragg, o. Alabama, arrived here
this morning, and it IS likely that the COM
mission will proc ed to pay their respects to
the president, and assemble and take the
first steps toward organization.

Claim Against . Railroad Decided.


WASHINGTON, March 31.-rhe CASE of w.
H. Cayce against the st. Louis Iron Noun
tain & Southern railroad. has been decided
in favor of Mr.. Cayce, by the Commissioner
of the general land office. The tract in
yolved embraces 100 acres of land adjoining
the town of Texarkana, ARK. The decision
afirms that presumption right excerpts land
from railroad grant equally with aehome-
stead grant; and that the validity OF the
claim against the United States cannot be
challenged by the railroad company, nor
can the company take advantage of any
laches on the part of the settler, and that
when claim that served to except tract
of land from railroad grant is afterwards
extinguished, the land reverts to the gov
eminent and does not inure to the grant,
and the company cannot, therefore, take adj
vantage of a subsequent abandonment Of the
land to claim that never was granted to it.

Inc result OF the recent battle for the a.

between Jem Carney, of England, and
Jimmy Mitchell, Of Philadelphia, Artbur
